Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Virginia controls acceptance.

01Start with Virginia
Check whether the lessee appears on Virginia's title record. If not, ask the lessor for a power of attorney that covers both title and registration paperwork.
02Open the Ford Credit request
Use Register Vehicle in Another State in Ford Credit Account Manager. Ford also says a county clerk may initiate the transfer and request the physical title or a copy.
03Use the official channel
Follow the Account Manager steps and compare them with Ford Credit's current state-to-state title transfer guide.
04Confirm usable receipt
The lessor remains responsible for the title and related fees. The lessor's power of attorney gives the named lessee authority to handle the vehicle paperwork when the lessee is not on the title record.
